a woMANss WORD.

Oh, ever swhell happy laugh is dumb.
All the joy gone, and al the anguish come
When strong adversely and subtle pain
Wiring the sad soul and rack the tlirobbfng
brain
When friends once faithful. hearts once an our
own,
Leave US TO EeHf- to bleed and die alone
When fears aud cares the lonely thought employ,
And clouds of sorrow hide the sun Of Joy
When weary life breaf hing reluctant breath,
Hath no hope su setter than the hope of death;
Then the best counsel and the last relief
To cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief.
The only calm, tie only comfort heard.
Comes in the music Of q yyotnan's wcrd-
Like beacon bell on some wild island shore
SlIyery ringing IN the tempest s roar,
Whose sound, borne shipward through the mid.
night gloom,
Tells of the path and turns her from her DOOM

HELLO, CENTRAL!

Tuesday night near II o'clock gentleman
attempted to call up central office. After
trying in vain for near fifteen minutes, he
concluded to go to the central office on a
tour of investigation and see what was the
matter. Before reaching the Office he heard
the night alarm doing its duty faithfully. II
took long series of pounding on the door to
get an answer When it came it seemed TO
originate from man who was about half
asleep. 1t is stated that it is no unusual
thing to be unable to get central
at night. The popular excuse is
that the wires are grounded. The poor wires
seem to get all the blame but in a number of
instances it is positively known that the
operator has been mapping when called for.
AS the fire circuit of the city largely de-
ponds on the central Office it is considered
not difficult to see that the city is placed in
great danger by mapping night operator.
Grounded wires when a fire breaks out
might be attended with great danger.

LIXELlER THAN EYER.

Messrs. j. NJ Cary and F. NJ. Conlan, of
Vincennes, friends of Mr.. Hood, Of the
Niederlander office are in the city with an
eye to business MIR. Conlan made his first
visit to the city last November and invested
rather freely, being assured that he had
struck lively city He has since made sew
eral turns and is again here to invest.
He says that Judging from the press of his
section he did not expect to see anyone i'll
Wichita. One would suppose that the owls
and bats had taken possession of the streets
and not even a ranchman to be seen. The
state of affairs he pronounces very different.
He says he can plainly see that the streets
are thronged with more people day and
night than they were on any of his previous
visits; business men doing more business,
and the city larger and even more building
going on. He feels more like investing in
real estate than ever. The persistent howl
of those who know nothing concerning the
question at issue, he considered, have very
little influence in the matter as far as he is

of the city had denoted to the old fair associ-
alton near 81, 500 with which to erect build

caper for the old association to vote the same
amount to the new association for similar
purpose. Also in speaking of the old associ

TAKING IN SUCKERS.

A gentleman from Indiana who has for a
few days been in the city, but who a num-
Der of months ago was numbered among the
arr ivals in the city, was heard ventilate
himself on Wichita He referred to the fact
that the papers of his section were vigorous
in telling lies about the city, and said that
strange as it might seem, some of the fellows
there who had invested in Wichita were
frightened out of their boots by the howlers
He said he would know hereafter how to en-
terrain these fellows who get scared before
looking. They will be taken in beautifully, >
he remarked. "Any one who wants to sell
at prices of month back can get ready
sale. l don't know how all the agents do here
but | do know that some of them are making
big money by letting those fellows get scared
real bad and then take them in. Its nothing
more than right its the proper caper. l
know of a fellow who some months ago was
here and invested little. He got scared and
his East Douglas avenue agent got buyer
when his price was exactly s. 900 below what
it would readily sell for. The buyer was the
agent himself and he did just the proper
thing. If fellow hasn't any more sense than

to keep their people from coming to Wichita

LET THEN ALONE.

The first thing our city authorities know
they will have their hands full Of the saliva
ton army. To arrest them or pay them any
attention whatever so long as they violate no
law, is mistake. Both wings of that outfit
have been running along for weeks attract
ing no particular attention, but the first ar
rest was followed by undue excitement, just
the thing they covet As soon as the an
thories make any move the average loafer
at once feels licensed and is melted TO put in
MS yawp. Last night the thousand or so
extra members clustering about the drum
ard tambourine corps was simply tie result
Of the arrest. No city has gained a single
point in attempting to shut them Off In
the absence Of a row they soon dry up and
drop out Of sight and hearing. Let them
alone.

aud sumptuous dinner The bridal party
took the o'clock train for the Rocky noun
tains, followed by the benedictions and well
wishes of all those present.

a well-mated pair. No treasure that the
world has to offer equals the blessed content
of a man securely cooked in pure, bright
womans love.

THE FOURTH IN WICHITA

The interest manifested by every business
man approached, in regard to having a
fourth of July celebration in Wichita I'M
equalled in the history of the state, is simply
wonderful. Out of the many seen each firm
has said, Eyes, we'll go in the trades parade. y
The matter is in the hands of the K. of p.
band, and at recent meeting committees
were appointed and they are now at work
upon their various duties.
One of the many parks will be selected,
upon easy transportation, and in the after
noon grand time will occur. This is to be
state affair, and all roads leading into the
city will make the usual rates. Bills adver-
Using the affair will be freely circulated in
the state, and as there are thousands of peo-
pie who want to see Wichita, they will thus
be given an opportunity.
Eminent speakers of state and national
fame will address the public; there is not
pastime known within the limits of the law
that will not be on hand; prizes of all kinds
will be offered; bands by the dozen will be
here; in fact big time.
The trades parade, headed by the K. OF P
band will be followed by taoleau car CON
tanning thirty-seven ladies (the states on a
pedestal. Surmounting the pyramid will be
Goddess of Liberty. The team of eight
horses, driven by Old Father Time and Uncle

a sample of all the products of Kansas.
Images, figures, monstrosities and charac-
ters will be on horseback. These with our
many business firms and the civic societies
of the city will cause a sight never seen in
Kansas.
At night fireworks and dances sum it all
up 'the" celebration of the age The presi-
dent of the K of P. committee will call on
the board of trade today and more will be
published in the near future. Suffice it to
say, the like has never been seen that will
